2006 Audi A4 3.2 Avant Review

Usually you wouldn't expect much from a refresh, but the 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Avant has enough updates to be called new. Available as a Sedan or Avant wagon, it is based on the same platform and uses all the traditional Audi strengths while adding some flair to both exterior and interior design. The intention was to bring brand image into focus in North American market. And the result, 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Avant, definitely offers some attitude.

First impression of the car is its looks and the 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Avant makes a good one. Although not the only new exterior feature, the most obvious, of course, is the 'single frame' grille, inspired by the Audi Nuvolari quattro concept car. The car's front is now unmistakable. The A4 has also grown a little, by 41 mm for the sedan, and with that came slightly more room for the rear-seat passengers.

Speaking of the interior. As unlikely as it may sound, Audi has actually made some improvements to the cabin. Being a benchmark for automotive interiors for some time now, they have managed to find even richer textures, more pleasing materials and more exquisite tailoring to keep up with the reputation for supreme comfort and style. There is also a full range of safety technologies on board, including side-curtain airbags, a smart electronic stability control system and stronger side impact beams

On the road the 2006 Audi A4 3.2 Avant stays sharp and confident. The revised suspension gives a firm but not choppy ride. The steering is quick and precise with very little body roll when turning round the corners sharply. The new large brakes deserve a special attention as they bring the A4 down from speed in a very short time. The engine feels and sounds smooth, powerful and gives a boost of confidence to the driver.
